Chapter 31.3

Chapter 31.3

After the group had left, Qiu Jiu turned his head to look at Chen Xing who was next to him who was staring thoughtfully at the direction they were leaving. His face, which had always been gentle, had some coldness to it.

Qiu Jiu hesitated for a moment, but said comfortingly to Chen Xing, “Don’t worry, they won’t dare to do anything to you.”

The moment Qiu Jiu said it out, Chen Xing turned his head to look at him.

Only then did Qiu Jiu realize that Chen Xing’s eyes were not the least bit worried, but full of doubt instead.

Soon after that, Qiu Jiu then heard Chen Xing’s confused voice ringing in his ears, “Tell me, why do you think that Miss Zhao’s temperament is so good, but the difference with her family’s servants is so big?”

The maid who came here with Zhao Young Lady last time was the same, the maid who came to get the dessert was also the same. The butler or housekeeper of the Zhao Family who came this time was the same again.

Hearing what he had said, Qiu Jiu shook his head, saying he wasn’t quite sure.

Chen Xing sighed and didn’t seem to have any intention of asking further questions, but just looked at the humble straw hut overhead and asked sadly, “Is this shed of mine really very shabby?” Although the steward’s words had not hit him, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Qiu Jiu listened to Chen Xing’s question, looked into his inquiring eyes, and after a moment of pondering, he changed to an indirect way of saying things, “This shed is not as bad as he said, it’s just a bit too simple.”

Qiu Jiu said it euphemistically, but Chen Xing heard the implied meaning, he let out a long sigh and said somewhat helplessly, “Well, I think it’s time for me to think about renting a shop.”

In fact, with the money Chen Xing was earning now, it was more than enough for him to rent a shop, but he thought that this place still had not fallen due yet for some time being and the money needed for rent was still small, so he thought that he would first work here for a while. Until he had saved enough money, he would pay some of Gu Lang’s money back before renting a shop and expanding his business.

However, Chen Xing now thinks that he can also rent a shop to expand his business first, and then go back to save money to pay Gu Lang back. Anyway, according to the current situation of Gu Lang, there should be no shortage of money for a while.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing’s heart had a preconceived plan and the matter of Zhao’s housekeeper coming to make trouble just now was immediately thrown into the back of his mind. Since it was an unimportant person, there was no need for him to think about it.

Qiu Jiu who was beside him, watched Chen Xing who quickly returned to his usual relaxed state so he let out a slight sigh of relief. If Chen Xing had gone back to the state he was in just now, he would not have known how to explain to his young master.

By the time he returned to the Gu Mansion, Chen Xing had completely forgotten about the incident in which the Zhao Residence butler had come to look for trouble. All he thought about was to calculate how much money he must have to rent a shop.

After eating, Chen Xing went to his room and prepared to rest during his lunch break to count how much money he had made and to calculate where he should rent the shop.

As soon as Chen Xing entered his room, he pulled out the money box he had stored in a hidden space inside his bed, and soon afterward he placed that object on the table and opened the box.

Inside that box, apart from a few pieces of broken silver, there were also a few banknotes with a value in silver, these were all the money that Chen Xing had earned during this period of time, apart from the various successes.

Chen Xing poured those out of the box and then slowly counted them up, and after counting them, he found that he had actually earned twenty taels of silver during this period of time. This money would have been enough to pay half a year’s rent if he had rented a less expensive house here.

After calculating the gains and losses, Chen Xing thought that it was better to rent the house first and then earn money to pay Gu Lang back. He then would go to search for Gu Lang later and tell him his idea and he felt that Gu Lang would definitely agree to his request.

Chen Xing put all his little treasures back in the box and went to his bed happily for his lunch break. He thought that when he got up later, he would tell Gu Lang about it when he went to see him to study.

At the same time, at Zhao Residence,

Zhao Mother looked at the second steward who had promised her well before he went out, but had failed to complete his task. A teacup was smashed over and she questioned in a stern voice:”Is this how you do things?”
